They need to post the rotten thing on the internet so Freepers and other Country loving Americans can tear into and see what is under the decaying leaves of this stinking mess

What they need to do is build a bonfire and burn the whole mess!

Modern day European socialism hello, we have arrived with trumpets blasting by the press corps, cheers from the perverted trust fund aristocracy, and open hands raised on high by the dependent class.

We could only hope for European socialism. This will be like Zimbabwe mixed with the Soviet Union with a dash of Nazi Germany.

If members of Congress actually took the time to read the bill, they would have to read through the night at a rate of 626 words per minute before heading to the House floor. What are the odds of that happening?

Isn't that a service their staffs could perform? Give each one a section, and tell them to give it the Reader's Digest treatment.

“Democratic Senator Predicts None of His Colleagues ‘Will Have the Chance’ to Read Final Stimulus Bill Before Vote”...

Just called Senator Lautenberg’s office 202-224-3224.Joe answered on the third ring.

I aksed him if the Senator was still planning on voting even though he hasn’t read the entire Bill. Joe said, “yes because he is privvy to the Committee Reports. He knows what is in the Bill.”

I asked Joe if the Senator is comfortable with the vote proceeding even though a majority of the Senators have not read the additonal 1,000 pages that were quickly added two nights ago and Joe said, “yes, the Senator is comfortable with voting.

The feeling I walked away with is Joe definitely didn’t care and the Senator didn’t care one way or the other. I am so disgusted.

I told them I felt it was unacceptable to proceed and irresponsible given the reckless way the Bill was thrown together.

It is so frustrating to care more than the Senators do and their Staff. Sickening.

Please call his office if you can. Thanks.
